Auxes
The VeniceU has four aux sends per input channel, which can be used for effects sends,
monitors or as extra assignable outputs from the console. Each aux has a control knob
that gives continuous adjustment of the level sent from the input channel to the aux
buses, in the range 4 (infinity/off) to +6dB.
Aux sections of the mono input channels
Auxes are post-EQ and post-fader, but each of the four aux buses can be independently
switched globally to pre-fader using the pre switch in the outputs section (see “Auxes”
on page 68).
Post-fade aux sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute, EQ and channel
fader. As a result, the actual level sent to the aux bus is proportional to the aux
send control and the channel fader.
Pre-fade aux sends are sourced after the channel insert, mute and EQ, but before
the channel fader. As a result, the actual level sent to the aux bus is proportional to
the aux send control only.
The following table shows some typical uses for auxes.
Application Pre-/Post-fade Reason
Stage monitors Pre-fade (post-EQ) The level in the monitor stays constant,
so that the engineer can change the FOH
fader level without affecting the
performer.
Effect sends Post-fade (post-EQ) The level sent to the effects is
proportional to the level on the fader, so
the balance between wet (processed)
and dry (unprocessed) sound stays the
same, even when the channel level is
changed.
Mixed recording Post-fade (post-EQ) If the aux is set to unity the FOH mix is
replicated on the aux output. This
includes EQ, but excludes pan.
